Hosted by Nordic Circular Hotspot and Nordic Innovation

Substantial parts of today’s economic languages are still based on perspectives that are more than 150 years old. This is a problem because 1) that’s a very long time ago and 2) this economy is based on the perception of limitless natural resources. We all know this isn’t the case anymore, far from it, which is why it is crucial to redefine our economy. Join us in this session as we take a whistle stop tour of our economic history, and dive into new, sustainable economic languages defined by modern economists — what do they all have in common and how will they affect our understanding of value and the future of our society, businesses, planet… well, everything?
